ASCENDER - Position Management: Update NYR Positions and Move Employees to CYR Payroll

The purpose of this document is to guide you through the necessary steps to update next year positions and move 12-, 11-, and 10-month employees to the current year payroll.

This document assumes you are familiar with the basic features of the ASCENDER Business system and have reviewed the ASCENDER Business Overview guide.

Some of the images and/or examples provided in this document are for informational purposes only and may not completely represent your LEA’s process.


12-month Employees

This process moves employees who receive their first paycheck in July from next year Position Management to current year Position Management. It also updates some of the fields on the following Maintenance tabs in the current year (see step 7 for detailed information):

  • Employment Info
  • Pay Info
  • Job Info
  • Distributions

A separate simulation needs to be set up for employees who receive their first paycheck in July. This is necessary because the position in the next year Position Management reflects the current year’s salary information. The simulation updates the fields in the next year positions for the new school year and clears the Accept Changes field. The new salary information from the next year position is updated in the current year, updating both the current year Position Management and the Staff Job/Pay Data fields for those employees. As 12-month employees do not accrue, it is not necessary to move them to the next year payroll. Contact your regional ESC consultant to discuss moving 12-month employees to the next year payroll.

Note: Depending on the LEA, it may not be necessary to set up separate simulations. If the LEA has determined next year salaries and completed all interfacing to Budget for the year, one simulation can be used when moving employees. Contact your regional ESC consultant to discuss this option.

It is important to consider how this process affects the budget. If you update 12-month positions with the new salary amount for the next school year in the next year Position Management, running the simulation a second time at a later date for all employees gives the 12-month employees an additional increase. If you were unable to update the budget with accurate salaries for all employees prior to rolling 12-month employees, it is necessary to update Budget with multiple simulations. Reference the Interface to Budget Checklist.

The following checklist assumes the LEA has interfaced the payroll salaries to Budget using the Salary Simulation process in Position Management.

TIP: Be sure to complete service records and extract June TRS before continuing this process. This process updates the begin and end contract dates for 12-month employees in the current year payroll. Service records must reflect the begin and end dates from the current school year, and these dates are used to calculate the days and hours worked for TRS purposes. This process will overwrite the employee’s calendar with the calendar for the new year. If June TRS has not been extracted, the system is unable to calculate this information for June.

  1. Verify account code fiscal years.
  2. Generate a user-created report.
  3. Verify retiree information.
  4. Identify employees to be moved to current year payroll.
  5. Create a salary simulation.
  6. Copy school calendars from next year to current year payroll.
  7. Generate a user-created report.
  8. Move forecast to current year position and payroll
  9. Confirm that CYR salaries are accurate.
  10. Mass update fiscal year.

11-month Employees

This process moves employees who receive their first paycheck in August from next year Position Management to current year Position Management. It also updates some of the fields on the following Payroll >Maintenance > Staff Job/Pay Data and Personnel > Maintenance > Employment Info tabs in the current year payroll (see step 16 for detailed information):

  • Employment Info
  • Pay Info
  • Job Info
  • Distributions

A separate simulation will be set up for 10-month employees at a later date. This is necessary because the position in the next year PMIS reflects the current year salary information. The simulation updates the fields in the next year positions for the new school year and clears the Accept Changes field. The new salary information from the next year position is updated in the current year, updating both the current year PMIS and the Staff Job/Pay Data fields for the employees. If 11-month employees accrue, it is important to move them to the next year payroll in order to perform the accrual process.

Note: Depending on the LEA, it may not be necessary to set up separate simulations. If the LEA has determined next year salaries and completed all interfacing to Budget for the year, one simulation can be used when moving employees. Contact your regional ESC consultant to discuss this option.

It is important to consider how this process affects the budget.

If you were unable to update Budget with accurate salaries for all employees prior to moving the 12-month employees, it is necessary to update Budget with multiple simulations.

The following checklist assumes that the LEA has interfaced the payroll salaries to Budget using the PMIS Salary Simulation process.

  1. Verify account code fiscal years.
  2. Generate a user-created report.
  3. Identify the employees to be moved to the current year payroll.
  4. Create a salary simulation.
  5. (If applicable) Move employees to next year payroll.
  6. Copy school calendars from next year to current year payroll.
  7. Generate a user-created report.
  8. Move forecast to current year position and payroll.
  9. Confirm that the CYR salaries are accurate.
  10. Mass update fiscal year.
  11. Generate the HRS6000 Account Code Comparison Report.
  12. Generate the HRS6050 Contract Balance Variance Report.
  13. Enter new hire data.
  14. Run payroll calculations.

10-month Employees

This process moves employees who receive their first paycheck in September from next year Position Management to current year Position Management. It also updates some of the fields on the following Maintenance > Staff Job/Pay Data tabs in the current year payroll:

  • Employment Info
  • Pay Info
  • Job Info
  • Distributions

Set up a separate simulation for employees who receive their first paycheck in September. If all of the employees receive their first check in September, you can use the simulation that was used for budgeting purposes. The simulation updates the fields in the next year positions for the new school year and clears the Accept Changes field. The new salary information from the next year position is updated in the current year, updating both the current year PMIS and the Staff Job/Pay Data fields for those employees.

  1. Verify account code fiscal years.
  2. Generate a user-created report.
  3. Verify retiree information.
  4. Identify employees to move to the current year payroll.

End-of-Year for PMIS LEAs

If you rolled employees from next year PMIS to current year PMIS, update the following information in District Administration to begin utilizing your CIP processes. Verify these fields are updated after rolling your employees to current year Payroll and current year Position Management.

District Administration > Options > Position Management

Current YearType the four-digit fiscal year for the current school year in the YYYY format. When the position school year matches this year, the position is validated using the current year Human Resources tables.
Next YearType the four-digit fiscal year for the next school year in the YYYY format. This data is used for calculating next year historical data. When the position school year matches this year, the position is validated using the next year Human Resources tables.
Minimum Foundation YearType the four-digit current or next school year in the YYYY format to allow the system to select the corresponding tables to calculate the minimum foundation salary amount. If this year matches the current year value, the current Human Resources state minimum table is used. If this year matches the next year value, the next year Human Resources state minimum table is used.

In the following example for the 2024-2025 school year, Current Year = 2025, Next Year = 2026, and Minimum Foundation Year = 2025.

District Administration Options

District Administration > Tables > PMIS > First Pay Date

Update the first pay dates to reflect your LEA's July, August, and September current year pay dates.

District Administration First Pay Dates
